 Now, start redshift (it will probably appear under accessories). ​ If the icon appears in the notification area, you're done.  Redshift can be toggled on and off by clicking on the icon.  For more configuration file options, look here: [[http://​jonls.dk/​2010/​10/​redshift-1-6-released/​]].  ​ Now, start redshift (it will probably appear under accessories). ​ If the icon appears in the notification area, you're done.  Redshift can be toggled on and off by clicking on the icon.  For more configuration file options, look here: [[http://​jonls.dk/​2010/​10/​redshift-1-6-released/​]].  ​

 +Redshift has a default day color temperature of 5500 K and a default night color temperature of 3700 K.  The default day temperature of 5500 K is 1000 K lower than the 6500 K standard of most monitors, so running redshift will give your monitor a red tint even during the day.  This can be troublesome for photo editing and other color temperature sensitive activities. ​ To counter this, there are two options. ​ One is to disable redshift when using color temperature sensitive applications. ​ The other is to change the default color temperatures in the config file.  Here is a sample configuration file with the temperature default changed:
